Psychosis of the Heart

Our experiences invoke emotions. They help shape our lives and who we are. Many times, they are difficult to convey to others. What better way to express them than poetically!

Abstract:
Psychosis of the Heart: Crazy Poetry is a collection of poems that take you through the emotional stages of Sonya Gaines as she navigates through the complexities of human relationships.Themes include: lust, anger, finding one’s identity, resentment, sadness, feelings of belonging, death, and true love. A lot of them were written during times of intense psychological struggle. Facing present circumstances, then adding the ghosts of past trauma, Crazy Poetry was a way of survival for her. She now presents them to you in the hopes that you may relate to, understand, and somewhere along the way enjoy them.
